What do you think? Is that a better (it is certainly gentler) way to go?

Darryl, when you are using molasses you have probably found that it won't work on anything that has had oil or grease on it. Even using degreaser before hand does not work. The enzymes in the mix won't touch anything slightly oily. Media blasting is the way to go with the housings as you can get the blast up inside the tube as well as that is probably pretty gunked up too.
